At a time when public trust in our Public Servants is at an all time low, at a time when so many of our Bronx politicians have been tainted; Public confidence in our Democracy requires the greatest level of transparency.

Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr’s decision to publicly support the one of the two developers seeking to redevelop the Kingsbridge Armory without first holding Borough-wide Public Hearings should not go unquestioned and unchallenged.

RECENTLY I CAME TO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW BEST TO EXPLAIN MY PAINTINGS - IT'S A NARRATIVE IMAGERY CONCEPT COMBINED WITH LYRICAL OR PROSAIC-STYLE. THIS WAY OF EXPRESSING I KEPT SOMEWHAT  UN –INTENTIONALLY HDDEN NOT TO  LOOK AT IT LITERATELY ENOUGH EXCEPT I'D  SCRIBBLED DOWN SOMEWHAT RHYTHMICALLY (FEW BOOKLETS IN PAST THROUGH INSTINCT) AND  USE AS ILLUSTRATION FOR MY  PAINTING.  A MORE PROFESSIONAL APPROACH TO THE LITERATE ARTICULATION GIVES A

   I am not a religious person, but I do have a deep and abiding faith in God the Living Spirit Almighty.  And you know, you just gotta give God a lot of praise because he just keeps handing us these monumental gifts, signs and wonders, despite the fact that we keep squandering them, and then begging for mercy for our errors. 

First, He gives us President Barack Obama</span> to lead us out of the mess that the Bush administration and his predatory supporters put us in,

There is no gainsaying in the fact that our excessive dependence on energy and electricity has contributed significantly to uplift their price. They are also expected to be costly in near future given their huge and uncontrollable way of consumption. Whereas energy from natural sources such as cola and fossils are too costly to afford, the alternative fossil fuels are not environmentally suitable to household uses. There are also people who believe that solar panels are ideal recourse to obtain

  Just over a month ago Mitt Romney addressed the NAACP during their national convention.  I thought Romney’s speech was horrible and quite a waste of time because he said nothing that would be of any interest to the Black community.  You can read that column at:  http://blackpressusa.com/romney-and-the-naacp-a-missed-opportunity/.

This column set off a firestorm of reactions from across the country.  Most people, of all political stripes, thought my analysis was right on the

Led light bulbs, also known as, light-emitting diodes, have gained worldwide prominence because of many key benefits involved. In contrast to incandescent and fluorescent lights with components like glass-caged filaments or gaseous bulbs, the LEDs, on the other hand, are functional because of tiny chips in small capsules or lenses. These components make led lights energy-efficient and so they are one of the most fundamental household needs today.

Some of the other remarkable benefits of led light

Do We Deserve The Black Leadership We Vote For?

Black African Americans should be ashamed of President Obama and other Black Leaders, when they examine the conditions of Black African Americans as a group. President Obama and other Black Elected Leaders and their surrogates take pride in telling Black Folks without shame, that he's not the President of Black Americans, but all Americans. Is that a verbal slap in the face? It is for that reason, that I still believe in the Change part of his old m

General Kip Ward the current head of Africom is to be demoted and have his retirement benefits reduced according to Al Jazeera.

He allegedly spent department of defense funds for personal use and used military personnel to drive his wife around on personal errands.  The secretary of defense Leon Panetta is still investigating these allegations.

It is very possible that he was getting to close to his ecowas counterparts and the department of defense wants to replace him with somebody who will be le

IS SEEKING ESTEEM AND FREEDOM RADICAL?

When Blacks make waves against unfair, civic laws, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks dispute Whites, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks tout being Black and Proud, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks show concern for their own well-being, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks demonstrate for racial justice, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks want representation in this society, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks want equal rights,

After months of speculation, Mitt Romney has finally settled on his Vice President choice, Paul Ryan.  Of course many Republican conservatives are elated with this choice, as Ryan represents everything they like: smaller government, tax breaks for the rich, eliminating social programs, and a "dog-eat-dog" capitalism that leaves many poor, hungry and disenfranchised.

Democrats are equally pleased with the pick as Paul Ryan represents an easy target to rail ag
